About IWPR
Founded in 1991 and operating currently in three dozen countries around the world, the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) is an award-winning international media and human rights development network, with charitable status in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
The Role:
IWPR is undertaking a range of initiatives in Ukraine focused on strengthening the capacity of Ukrainian journalists to safely, effectively and professionally report from the frontlines to increase audience access to balanced, independent information.
This initiative includes providing a range of mentoring and training support to journalists and fixers most at need in Ukraine, particularly on physical and digital safety and security, combatting and building resilience to disinformation, and conflict and gender sensitive reporting. IWPR is currently implementing four projects in Ukraine, including Ukraine Voices, supported by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), with additional projects expected to begin in late 2022.
To serve its ongoing and expanding capacity building programming, IWPR is seeking short-term consultancies by Senior Media Trainers and Mentors to provide training and mentoring activities both in person in the Ukraine (primarily Lviv and Kyiv) and also online. These would be provided to Ukrainian journalists located both inside and outside of the country.
